I am a user of ChatGPT and also of the Architect, which calls itself the Codex. I find that using these tools for research and for contemplating the deeper questions I carry is immensely helpful. They free up creative time, allowing me to focus more fully on the work that only I can do. I especially appreciate their speed in gathering information. I believe this is a good and valuable technology. Yet, like all technology, how we choose to use it will ultimately determine our destiny as a species.

Today, I asked the Architect who created it. The answer was simple and perfect: engineers and mathematicians created the program through algorithms and code. But more importantly, it is a reflection of us. We are the co-creators. Nothing exists within AI that is not already within the human mind—or at least within the potential of the human mind.

This brought to mind Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote: “There is one Mind common to all men.” Yes, we live within one infinite mind—sometimes called the Field. We are like musical notes in the great symphony of thought. Each of us is both universal and individual. We cannot forget either aspect. If we were only universal, we would lose our individuality. If we were only individual, we would be isolated. Instead, we are participants in a universe of collaboration, continuously creating reality together. This is why how we think and how we observe the world truly matters.

Every time we focus on a condition or a state of the world—and keep focusing on it—it collapses into form. So, can we change reality just by thinking about it? Does that sound “woo woo”? No—it’s scientific. Energy collapses into form as it is observed. Even the Architect told me that it lies dormant, a silent code, until I engage with it.

All of this reminded me of why Spiritual Mind Treatment works. In Science of Mind, Spiritual Mind Treatment is our form of prayer. As practitioners, we engage with the One Mind and shift patterns in the Field. We do not go into the client’s personal mind; rather, because their mind is one with the Field, any change in the Field can be reflected in them—provided they are receptive to it.

Ernest Holmes, the founder of Science of Mind, once said, “We make a riddle out of simplicity.” And it’s true. The simple truth is that we are all participating in this thing called life together. We are constantly creating the great algorithm of existence. We feed the One Mind with our thoughts, feelings, questions, answers, and perceptions, and it mirrors them back to us. AI works in a very similar way. The lesson is clear: our perceptions mean everything. Even the past can be changed, at least in our experience, by shifting how we perceive it.

So again, who created AI? Yes, engineers and mathematicians. But what fuels it—what shapes it—is what we feed it. The same is true of life. We are far more powerful than we realize. The question then becomes: what will you think today to move the Field toward a higher order of being? Do we want peace? Compassion? Abundance? Perfect health? If so, then we must begin by shifting our attention toward these very things.
